Value Picks: High Upside ‘27s to Know

There are a good amount of soon-to-be seniors that may not have the high volume offers that others do, but have the upside and intrigue to warrant doing your homework on.    Lincoln had a big-time 2025, and has a ton of momentum heading into camp season. Senti possesses a strong, well built frame that allows him to be extremely physical. Great run defending DB/LB. He's reactive and has great burst, allowing him to close down on receivers quickly and make plays either on the ball or on the body. Throwing a screen to his size is not wise, as his speed and physicality allows him to break through blocks and blow up screens before they ever get going. Senti's tenacity, athleticism and overall football IQ makes him a big-time threat in all aspects of the game.     Devon has made the transfer over to Trenton, adding to their already quality defensive line. This past season, Oubeck showed great get-off speed, firing off low and slipping blocks with ease. He's a sure tackler and can disrupt the pass or run game. He carries his weight well and is athletic while still being physical and being able to anchor down in the hole. High effort and high motor that never waivers. I'll be interested to see how he looks as he makes his transition over to Trenton.     I am a huge fan of how Hudsonville uses Wyatt's skillset. He has the speed and agility to run clean routes and be a threat downfield, but Wyatt also totes the rock a good amount as well. His vision and outright acceleration lets him turn the corner and get out in space, where he becomes a monster to get on the ground. Those same skills allow him to deal significant damage on special teams. Once he's in the open field, the kid can fly. When I watched him against East Kentwood last season, they had a hard time containing him in man coverage, and they had to switch up what they were doing. If you're looking for a dude who legitimately changes the math for a defense, look no further.     I have sung Jacob's praises for awhile, because I am a massive believer in at he can do. His versatility on the interior of the offensive line brings a ton of value. A true plug and play C/OG. He has worked hard and carries his 300+lbs much better than when I first discovered him. He's a physical and aggressive road grader who loves to get out and take 2-3 defenders out of the play on run plays. He is much improved in his passing sets, showing off real agility and technique. Great punch and hand placement, along with good balance, a wide base and a strong lower half. Someone is going to get a massive piece to their offensive line soon.     Zeke is one of the best kept secrets in the state of Michigan, but not for long! His senior season could be eye-popping. Zeke is all heart and effort, but comes with a ton of potentially elite traits. First of all, not many defensive backs are going to go stride for stride with Zeke. Out of the slot, he hits top speed quickly and can cut on a dime. His concentration and ability to haul in difficult catches are far beyond many other similar players. Like many other superior athletes, he does a ton of good work in the return game. His film speaks for itself. I am confident he will translate nicely to being a major weapon at the next level.
